Fit with Your Mind
You've been working out regularly for quite a while, but you're nowhere near your fitness goals. So now it's time to bring in your ultimate weapon -- your mind.
Rather than thinking of fitness as something mysterious that you do with your body, take an analytical, goal-oriented approach to making physical improvements that stick. Try these tips for creating a smart fitness plan:
Define your goals. Whether it's to lose fat and gain muscle or to run a triathlon, it's vital to have a goal to work toward. Knowing where you're going makes it easier to take the right steps.
Get realistic. Training gains are met through consistent effort over a period of time. Don't expect dramatic, overnight results -- regardless of what exercise equipment informercials
claim. Reward yourself for all the little positive steps you take and for consistently striving forward.
Be yourself. Work toward a goal that you can achieve with your body. Don't try to change your basic shape or to go against your own unique physical capabilities. Take an objective look at yourself, then work toward enhancing what you've got rather than trying to attain someone else's body.
用腦健身
你經(jīng)常做健身運(yùn)動(dòng)已有相當(dāng)長一段時(shí)間了，但是你的健身目標(biāo)仍然遙不可及?，F(xiàn)在該是動(dòng)用你的“終極”武器——大腦——的時(shí)候了。
不要把健身看成是你對自己的身體所做的一種神秘的事情，要對此進(jìn)行分析，明確目標(biāo)，以持續(xù)有效地改善體質(zhì)。制定一個(gè)聰明的健身計(jì)劃，試試以下建議：
明確目標(biāo)。不管是減去脂肪、增加肌肉，還是進(jìn)行三項(xiàng)全能運(yùn)動(dòng)，有一個(gè)努力的目標(biāo)是至關(guān)重要的。目標(biāo)明確有利于你采取正確的步驟。
要現(xiàn)實(shí)些。健身訓(xùn)練要經(jīng)過一段時(shí)間堅(jiān)持不懈的努力才能有所收獲。所以不要期望立竿見影——不要理會健身器械廣告怎么說。為自己采取的所有雖小但是正確的步驟，為自己一直都在堅(jiān)持，犒勞自己。
做自己。朝你自己的身體能夠達(dá)到的目標(biāo)努力。不要試圖改變自己的基本體型，也不要跟自己特有的身體素質(zhì)對著干。客觀地審視自己，然后朝能夠改進(jìn)自己已有的身體狀況這一目標(biāo)努力，而不是非要練出別人的體型不可。
